Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de distribution d'articles, par exemple, un distributeur automatique, comprenant un tuyau d'aspiration permettant de retirer des articles d'une zone de stockage. Dans un mode de réalisation, un détecteur pourvu d'une sortie répondant aux changements de pression partielle à l'intérieur du tuyau d'air, tel qu'un détecteur de débit d'air couplé à un tuyau d'aspiration, peut servir au départ à détecter le réglage du contact du tuyau d'aspiration avec un article devant être distribué. Tant que l'aspiration est fournie à l'extrémité de préhension du tuyau d'aspiration avant que le tuyau ne vienne en contact avec l'article à retirer, le débit d'air (et la pression partielle) à l'intérieur du tuyau change radicalement au moment où l'extrémité de préhension du tuyau d'aspiration entre en contact avec l'article. De plus, au moment où l'extrémité susmentionnée n'est plus en contact avec l'article, le détecteur de débit d'air transmet une nouvelle fois un signal d'indication, qui est déclenché par le changement brutal du débit d'air (et de la pression partielle) à l'intérieur du tuyau. Les signaux produits par le détecteur de débit d'air peuvent être utilisés pour remplacer le détecteur de proximité à actionnement mécanique utilisé dans les appareils antérieurs, afin d'empêcher que l'extrémité de préhension susmentionnée ne s'approche des articles, et ils peuvent servir d'indication pour déclencher le retrait d'un article de la zone de stockage.
